March 8, 2023, 2:06 p.m. – Public Information Service – OSN Air pollution almost everywhere in the world exceeds safe limits, Bloomberg analysts write, citing the findings of scientists. You can only breathe clean air on 1% of the planet, and the dirtiest air is in South and East Asia. There, the values exceed 90%.
Yuming Guo, senior researcher and professor of environmental protection at Monash University, said short-term exposure, especially a sudden increase, to PM2.5 leads to significant health problems. Australia and New Zealand remain the most favorable countries in this category.
Meanwhile, Europe is trying to stick to the green agenda. However, realities dictate otherwise. And now Germany, which was trying to establish itself at the forefront of the fight for the environment, is now getting its coal mines back in working order.
As the public information service wrote, in the third quarter of 2022, a decision was made in Germany to restore the operation of a number of coal-fired power plants.
